I've traditionally maintained both disposables for electronics that slowly run down the battery, and rechargeables for everything else.

Eneloops now take care of all my needs. The flashlight still works after sitting in a drawer for months and high discharge items need less charging too... thanks to the low self-discharge rate.

Because these have such a low discharge rate spare batteries don't need to be permanently tethered to the charger. Just charge them and set them aside until needed... you'll save a bit of energy by unplugging your charger too.

The biggest drawback for Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is the shelf life. I got gadgets and toys all around the house, so I constantly charging batteries to have them ready when I need them. There will be very little juice left if you put them in the shelf unused for a couple of months. A waste of time and energy. Hence, one of the biggest advancement in battery technology is the arrival of the new low discharge Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. This is another great step in helping the environment. I have very few left of the old batteries since I started to replace all of them with low discharge batteries. Eneloops and Duracell are 2 of the best of its kind.

Pros:
-Low discharge.
-Fine quality product. Well constructed
-Conventional size and dimension.
-You can use your existing NiMh charger for these batteries

Cons:
-More expensive than ordinary NiMh
-Not available at many brick & mortar stores

These batteries are great. They last long, can be recharged in a fairly decent amount of time, and best of all, they maintain their charge for over a year! No more having to recharge your batteries if you don't use the device for a month. These are much more cost-effective than alkaline batteries. I have the AA and AAA versions of these batteries and use them for all my appliances.

Best rechargeable AA batteries. I have used a couple different energizer rechargeables and some other brand. These are far better than any other AA I have used. Need to buy some more.

I've heard a lot about eneloop batteries but never tried them. I decided to jump the gun and get then because I needed some pretty heavy duty AAA for a bb gun i needed to power. The batteries came pre-charged, but I always make it a habit to charge batteries when i first get them, just to condition the battery, even though they state that the batteries have no memory, you can't be too cautious. Once they were fully charged, about 4 hours for me, the charge on the batteries lasted for quite a while even after continuous use all day. If the price of these batteries seem a bit too much for you, I would recommend using energizer rechargeable batteries as an alternative, they have always performed very well for me.

I've used nothing but Eneloop's for AA and AAA devices for about 3 years now. I have digital cameras, noise-cancelling headphones and clocks, Wii and TV/Home Theatre remotes that rely on 'em. They really do hold a charge and have a great shelf life. Nothing compares. I use the Triple-A's to run my Logitech Harmony 659 remote control & they last 2 or 3 months before I swap... every time I swap I throw the dead ones into a charger overnight, then shelf 'em. They're always ready when I have to swap again. You'll save a bundle with these batteries!

Duracell and others are making the same type of battery now but I still think Eneloops last longer. At least my double-A's do. :)

I have used these batteries excessively for about 6 months. I use them with the turtle beach x31 wireless headphones for gaming. I recharge every 3 days because i use a lot and there has been no degradation of quality or life so far.

I combine these with my Maha NiHM charger and by doing so can make these batteries last over a year before losing too much capacity. These batteries don't have the mAh rating of some other manufacturer batteries, but by keeping the rating conservative they allow the battery to have a much longer life compared to Energizer Rechargeables that lose their capacity much more quickly.

Not much to note other than they work as intended and have a very long storage life and last as long, if not longer, as other similar batteries.

Love these rechargeable batteries.

Keeps its charge for a long time in storage. In use, seems to last quite a bit too. I've used Maha's, Kodak, Sony, La Crosse, and Energizer rechargeable batteries. I like the Eneloops by far.

I just wish they made 9V versions of these.
